Key figures

  • ZIP 97201 FEC itemizations total $17,968,302 across 44,948 contributions.
  • The mean line is about $400; this is one southwest Portland ZIP, not the city.
  • This packet does not publish a unique-donor count.
  • Source: FEC.gov aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Southwest Portland, not a citywide FEC sum

$17,968,302 divided by 44,948 is about $400 per itemized line. 97201 covers southwest Portland toward the South Waterfront and Portland State. That is one mail key, not the city. The packet has a dollar total and a contribution count. It does not have a unique-donor count or a citywide roll-up.

Forty-four thousand nine hundred forty-eight contributions is a substantial list. Repeat givers, campus-adjacent addresses, and any committee that files 97201 all add rows. Do not treat 44,948 as a census of Portland.

LobbyVault does not interpret $17,968,302 as an Oregon political identity. The source is FEC.gov receipts tagged 97201.

Southwest Portland is not Portland. $17,968,302 across 44,948 contributions is 97201 only. Hillside households and Portland State-adjacent addresses share the field. This packet has no unique-donor count. The $400 mean is arithmetic. Recheck the ZIP 97201 FEC page after quarterly filings. The Pearl is a different key. The all-ZIP directory is the inventory. FEC.gov remains the original filing.

Hills and campus mail on one field

97201 mixes hillside households, Portland State addresses, and downtown-adjacent offices. A joint fundraising committee that lists a 97201 suite still posts that ZIP. $17,968,302 follows the form. It is not a resident-only book.

The 44,948-line count can include memo entries and redesignations. Open the ZIP 97201 FEC page for named receipts. This guide will not guess which rows are households.

Questions

How much federal campaign money is tied to ZIP 97201?
FEC.gov itemized receipts listing contributor ZIP 97201 total $17,968,302 across 44,948 contributions in the LobbyVault aggregate. That figure is a ZIP roll-up of federal Schedule A rows, not a unique-donor count and not a census of Portland residents. Unitemized gifts sit outside it. The mean of about $400 is arithmetic from those two packet facts.
How many FEC contributions are tagged to ZIP 97201?
LobbyVault counts 44,948 itemized contributions for ZIP 97201. That is a line count, not a headcount of unique people. Repeat gifts and campus-address batches can add rows without adding new donors. This packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The matching dollar total on the same extract is $17,968,302.
Does ZIP 97201 cover all of Portland?
No. 97201 is one southwest Portland mail key. Other Portland ZIPs are separate roll-ups. Committees and office addresses that file 97201 can be part of $17,968,302. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a citywide or residential-only book. Open named receipts on the ZIP hub to see which committees appear.
Where does LobbyVault get ZIP 97201 totals?
The numbers come from FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $17,968,302 and 44,948 lines for ZIP 97201. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Unitemized federal gifts and Oregon state filings are outside both figures. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.

ZIP is the 5-digit contributor ZIP on FEC itemizations. Totals can include joint fundraising and PAC addresses, not only residents.
